At work today I came to a giant realization...Fall Out Boy doesnt stand a fucking chance when Blink and Green Day make their rounds this year. Sure they still have a loyal fanbase because they are huge at the moment, but I really cant see this band in the arena circuit past this year with these bands back. The resurgance of 90s pop punk is really going to do number on either a)how long all these shit ass emo bands out now last or b)what these bands sound like. Personally I would love another abundance of shitty 4-chords or less pop/punk bands circulating the airwaves because eventhough it was the flavor of the year dominating everything you listened to, it was at least a little more honest and fun and not paraded by synth and boring acoustic songs(that means you plain white t's).
And allthough I am not sure I want to admit it, i really think Blink is gonna have a much bigger impact on pop punk coming back this year and bands changing to sound more fun and "real" than Green Day will for sure. While Green Day will sell more albums and have a bigger tour(unless they tour together), they are more interested in U2 heights than Blinks "lets just get back out there and play to the fans we have now and more will follow" approach.
In closing, a new Friday the 13th comes out tomorrow which rules, its windy as dick out, and I am getting better at guitar...hooorah
Cheers
